I am a disabled veteran and utilize a service dog named Hoagie. I am married and have two grown childeren. My wife also disabled also has a service dog named Wally.

During a time of emotional stress, I picked up a past Christmas present. A beginners watercolor paint set and tried my first painting. I started to get comments, and people who saw it on my wall liked it. I continued to paint and the compliments have continued to come.

I enjoy painting and hope that I might fit into this organization to help keep art a part of the Capital District.
